Note:
If no other actions are taken, the unit will automatically power off after 10 seconds.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long
battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more
rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to
replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use,
manufacturer recommends the battery should be recharged at least every 30 days
and after each use.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first
time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between
recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
The battery can be recharged using the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging
process.
NOTICE –
RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery charged
will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.
IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays four
solid bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging power source,
this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer
suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC
charger before use.
Charging/Recharging Using the Built-In 120 Volt AC
Charger and an AC Extension Cord
1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 volt AC charger located on the
lower left front of the unit (refer to the "Features" section to locate). Connect
an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard
120-volt AC wall outlet. When the unit is properly connected to an AC power
source, the LCD screen will display the following:
The bars on the Battery Status Icon represent the charge level of the unit's
internal battery. The bars on the Battery Status Icon will change from empty to
solid (bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate the unit is charging. The backlight
will turn on for 10 seconds (only).
2. Charge for approximately 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4
solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the AC extension cord from the AC outlet
and then disconnect it from the unit.
JUMP-STARTER
This unit is equipped with a jump starter power switch that allows energy to flow
only when proper connections are made to battery and frame.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive
ungrounded battery post and the negative (black) clamp to the vehicle chassis
or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative (black) clamp to the
negative ungrounded battery post and the positive (red) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to
the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
